OFFSHORE MOVING STORMS ARE A CONCERN. MORE BACK TO YOU. WE WANT TO GET YOU BACK TO THE BREAKING NEWS AT THE TOP OF THE SHOW. A 12-YEAR-OLD BOY ACCIDENTALLY SHOT AT A DAYTONA BEACH HOTEL. THE MAN NEXT DOOR ACCIDENTALLY FIRED HIS GUN. CLAIRE METZ IS JOINING US LIVE FROM THE HOTEL. THE BOY IS OKAY? YEAH, HE'S OKAY. THANK GOODNESS. THE POLICE CHIEF WANTS TO CHARGE THE MAN WHO FIRED HIS GUN AT THIS FAMILY FRIENDLY RESORT JUST AFTER 9:30 THIS MORNING, HITTING THE BOY RIGHT IN THE SIDE. THE MAN WAS TAKEN IN FOR QUESTIONING BECAUSE THE CHIEF SAYS THIS IS NOTHING, IF NOT NEGLIGENCE. WE COULD HAVE A DEAD 12-YEAR-OLD KID HERE WITH FAMILIES WHO ARE ON VACATION. TRAGEDY NARROWLY AVERTED ON THE BEACH. THE MAN FROM GEORGIA STAYING WITH HIS FAMILY IN ONE UNIT FIRED HIS .9 MILLIMETER GUN AN A BULLET HIT A 12-YEAR-OLD BOY STAYING WITH HIS FAMILY IN THE UNIT NEXT DOOR. THE LITTLE BOY HAPPENED TO BE IN THE KITCHENETTE AND THE FORCE OF THE SHEETROCK SLOWED IT DOWN BUT IT DIDN'T EVEN BREAK THE SKIN. THE MOM AND DAD AND 10-YEAR-OLD BROTHER ARE REALLY UPSET. THE GUN OWNER HAD A WEAPON IN THE BRIEFCASE AND TOOK IT OUT AND DROPPED THE MAGAZINE BUT FAILED TO CLEAR THE CHAMBER BEFORE DRY FIRING IT. OTHERS STAYING AT THE SAME RESORT CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY ANYONE WOULD HAVE A WEAPON HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE. IT'S SERIOUS HAVING FIREARMS IN ROOMS LIKE THAT. I DON'T SEE NO REASON FOR IT. THERE'S NOTHING BUT CHILDREN AND FAMILIES HERE. FORTUNATELY THE LITTLE BOY WASN'T UP AGAINST THE COUNTER WHERE THE BULLET MAY HAVE DEFINITELY PENETRATED THE SKIN OR COULD HAVE EVEN KILLED HIM. BACK LIVE NOW, THE CHIEF TELLS US THEY WERE -- THEY ARE TALKING TO THE GENTLEMAN WHO FIRED THE WEAPON AND IT WILL BE LIKELY UP TO THE STATE ATTORNEY AS TO WHETHER OR NOT HE WILL BE CHARGED WITH NEGLIGENCE. AS FOR THE FAMILY, THEY'VE BEEN HERE SEVERAL DAYS. THEY'RE GOING TO CONTINUE THEIR VACATION. THE LITTLE BOY TOLD THE CHIEF THE LAST TIME THEY WERE ON VACATION, HE GOT JELLYFISH STINGS. THIS TIME, SOMETHING MORE DRAMATIC HAPPENED.
